The Internet offers us a wonderful way to communicate. But for your own good, don’t give out too much personal information and use common sense ! There is really no need to provide details other than qualification and an email address. Once you have established that you are dealing with a legitimate counterpart, then do as you want in private.

Also, be aware of job scams. As exciting as it may be to get a response, use your common sense. As a Licensed Marine Engineer you should never have to pay anything, especially upfront, to get a job, in some countries, like Canada, it is illegal to do so. Be safe and happy.
